Data Collection for the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) based Electricity Access assessment to Replace Diesel generators in Refugee Camps in Southern Bangladesh and Northern Uganda

Data Collection for the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) based Electricity Access assessment to Replace Diesel generators in Refugee Camps in Southern Bangladesh and Northern Uganda
Data Collection for the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) based Electricity Access assessment to Replace Diesel generators in Refugee Camps in Southern Bangladesh and Northern Uganda
This report details the data collection methodology employed in the study, which investigates the potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) based electricity supply to support refugee camp operations and provide electricity access to refugee households, replacing the prevalent use of diesel-based electrification by aid agencies. The study focuses on refugee camps in Uganda and Bangladesh as case studies. Both structured and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain insights into the current diesel-based electrification practices and the electrical demands across various segments of the refugee settlements. Collected data and insight were used to model range of PV-battery energy supply systems with detailed techno-economic analyses to be included in a separate publication. Such field data based renewable energy based alternative solutions to diesel power systems would enable aid agencies to make informed decisions in deploying clean energy supplies for refugee camps and their operations.

Abstract

This report details the data collection methodology employed in the study, which investigates the potential for solar photovoltaic (PV) based electricity supply to support refugee camp operations and provide electricity access to refugee households, replacing the prevalent use of diesel-based electrification by aid agencies. The study focuses on refugee camps in Uganda and Bangladesh as case studies. Both structured and semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain insights into the current diesel-based electrification practices and the electrical demands across various segments of the refugee settlements. Collected data and insight were used to model range of PV-battery energy supply systems with detailed techno-economic analyses to be included in a separate publication. Such field data based renewable energy based alternative solutions to diesel power systems would enable aid agencies to make informed decisions in deploying clean energy supplies for refugee camps and their operations.
